ahahahha Immigration calls the "extension" falsely an "exemption" . .. Stupid as stupid be . . . some of them are stoooopid

@Sweet ****

OK!

@Dany *******

a guy on a DTV I know, asked for the requirements for the extension on Immigration Hua Hin. They listed about similar requirements than the ones you mentioned, but what was added to this was their requirement that the 500,000 THB must sit in a Thai bank account in his sole name. Since you cannot open a bank account on a DTV visa without greasing the palms of an agent, because it is a tourist visa type, this is the typical Catch22 situation. So he decided to just do the border bounce and get stamped the next 180 days, no questions asked

@Sweet ****

you can apply for a multi entry 6-months tourist visa only in your home country (the country of your residence)

you better book with a listed and licensed hotel. AirbnB rentals under 30 days are illegal, except the landlord has a hotel license (which they rarely have)

@Donna *****

I live in Thailand on a yearly Retirement Extension since 17 years. I don't need Elite or DTV

@Sefton *******

only with the help of an agent, which makes the requirement a Catch 22 -Thai logic

@Sefton *******

then you would need money in a Thai bank account. On a DTV, banks won't open an account for you. Thai logic!

@Sefton *******

if it has to be a Thai bank account, that's the problem. Because on a DTV, a bank won't open an account for you

@Su *******

i am not talking about the requirement to obtain the DTV. I am talking about the requirement to obtain the 180-days extension of the DTV on Immigration. THEY might want to see the 500.000 on a THAI bank account
